This revised and updated edition integrates the latest in modern technology with traditional cartographic principles. While providing a solid conceptual foundation in cartographic methodology, the text also introduces the very latest advances that have greatly influenced cartographic techniques. The new edition reflects the increasing importance of cartography as the basis for further geographical study, thetext has been updated throughoutand chapters on the latest developments in cartography have been integrated. There is also a more widespread emphasis on multimedia and the web.
